In October, representatives of VictoryLand and the attorney general's office met to talk about the casino's future. About four days after the meeting, Attorney General Luther Strange made an offer.

"Your clients could amicably allow state enforcement agents to seize some or all of the machines that your clients intend to operate and evidence about how they were operated," Strange wrote in an Oct. 19 letter to Joe Espy, an attorney for VictoryLand owner Milton McGregor. "Your clients could then argue their case in court through a forfeiture action, which we would be willing to expedite."
